“Kelli was awesome, kept us updated with pictures and we're so so grateful!”
“Kayla is so awesome. Not only did she come to our rescue at the last minute, but she sent us pictures of our kitty. Really appreciate her coming to the rescue with less than 24 hours notice to do a quick drop by to feed our cat. Would highly recommend Kayla!”
“Jennifer took great care of my two cats while we were away; even the shy one came out of hiding for her. We would love to book with her again!”
“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”
About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.
About: Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I love animals and grew up with dogs and cats and currently have a 4 year old doodle. I'm excited for the opportunity to visit and play with your dog or take them for a long walk around the neighborhood or on trails! I'm responsible, caring, friendly and happy to help in any way that I can. Feel free to ask me any questions or request photo updates of your dog's day. My goal is to make sure your dog is happy and to put your mind is at ease while you're away. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to meeting your pooch! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'm happy to take a break to walk and play with your dog! Available weekdays and weekends I can check in on your dog, feed and play with them. I'd love to take them for a walk in the neighborhood or play in your fenced yard.
“Adalia was great taking care of my dog. She arrived when scheduled and kept me informed of my dog’s wellbeing. I would definitely use her again.”
“Jezel did an awesome job for caring for our two cats! She was very friendly during our initial visit and sent a ton of photos of them. I know for a fact our cats enjoyed her caring for them and showing them love while we were away! We will definitely contact Jezel again for future care! Highly recommend booking her for your animals care as well!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very quick to respond if i had any question or concerns and showed real genuine care for my animals. She was my first sitter on Rover so i was kind of nervous about the whole process but she really made everything very easy and i was able to focus on my vacation and what i needed to get done.”
About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.
“Great about doing in drop-in visits for my cat while I was away! Good communication and updates!”
About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
